Partial lockdown: those affected from the district react in horror about the measure from Monday

In the fight against the corona pandemic, there should be a "partial lockdown" from Monday.

Those affected from the Dachau district report on what this means for them.

The word “lockdown light” alone annoys Michael Groß.

For Groß, owner of the country inn of the same name in Bergkirchen and chairman of the Dehoga district office, the lockdown that has now been decided is nothing more than: “They lock us up.

They paralyze our entire industry! ”Groß and his colleagues are“ appalled at how politics is dealing with us ”.

In his eyes, the resolutions are only “political activism”.

What annoys him the most: “That we made concepts for a lot of money and implemented specifications.

And now it's all over. "Of course, people's health comes first, but" that is now out of proportion ".

Sure, he admits, the long-established landlords in the county, who in most cases own their premises, would survive the lockdown.

In addition, most restaurateurs would also manage to generate at least the salaries for the employees through their pick-up services.

But big is about the principle, the big picture.

And then he says, "we innkeepers just seem to have no lobby".

Andrea Ziegler, landlady of the Altstadthotel Zieglerbräu, also uses the words “complete despair” and “shock paralysis” to describe her emotional state after the lockdown message.

Because at Schneider there is “complete incomprehension” that it affects their industry.

She and her host colleagues have made “endless investments” in safety and hygiene concepts.

And one more thing: Many would have already lost a lot of money with the first lockdown, would have taken out loans.

"The whole thing now throws us back by decades," says Schneider, many colleagues are in debt for life.

But precisely because she and her colleagues are passionate about their job, giving up is out of the question.

"We are attached to our stores and we are trying everything to save them."

The new lockdown could have serious consequences for the Skyline Billard & Dart Sports Bar in Dachau, which has only been open for a few weeks.

"Since we didn't even exist in November 2019, we, as of now, will not be able to benefit from a reimbursement of sales losses from the federal government of 70 or 75 percent," emphasizes center operator Gil Rieger.

"Because that is based on the sales of the same month last year, ie November 2019." So we have to come to terms with our landlord and send the employees on short-time work for the month of November. "  

Since the new billiard center above the Rapp car dealership was also registered as a venue for the BSV Dachau in the pool table league, another problem arises.

Rieger: “The league doesn't start until December, but what do we do when teams from Germany with a significantly higher incidence value than Dachau want to compete with us?

The association puts the responsibility on the organizers, i.e. us.

You have to think very carefully about how you will proceed in the future. "

theatre

It's like suddenly stopping a moving ICE.

This is how Janet Bens from Hoftheater Bergkirchen describes how the sudden lockdown from Monday feels like for the artists of the small theater.

"We are shocked that we are suddenly no longer allowed to play." People need culture.

Now more than ever.

"The events help people, right now, at least a little bit through this gloomy, dark time," says Janet Bens.

You can tell that in the audience, how they "look at us gratefully with big eyes over their masks," says the actress.

“People go along with everything, every rule, the main thing is that they can come to us.” The court theater also did everything to create a safe space for its artists and spectators.

"Risk patients come to us who said: They are not going anywhere anymore, but come to us because they feel safe here," says Bens.

Only 35 instead of the original 85 people are currently allowed to attend the performances - and with the same production costs.

The second ventilation device was recently installed, which the manufacturer claims will filter 99.9 percent of viruses.

"We had hoped that one would at least look at the individual conditions and concepts instead of simply ironing everything down!" Says Bens.

In addition to the sadness of not being allowed to play, there is existential fear.

“How are we supposed to do that as a small private theater?

We only live from hand to mouth, ”she emphasizes.

Next Sunday the actors will give their last performance.

Bens reckons it "could get pretty emotional".

On both sides.

For audience and artists.

Closed again: the Dachau cinema.

In mid-June, Nicole and Christopher Lutz presented a poster to reopen after the first lockdown.

movie theater

Nicole Lutz from Cinema Dachau “cannot understand” Wednesday's decision, as she emphasized when asked.

"We have adhered to all requirements and specifications, created a hygiene concept that our visitors adhered to in an exemplary manner, and we are still punished!" Just like the Hauptverband Deutscher Filmtheater eV, she is of the opinion: "There is not a single proven Covid19 worldwide -Infection known in connection with a visit to the cinema! "The coronavirus and" the Prime Minister unfortunately has to accept an Eberhofer ", as Lutz regrets.

So they hope that Constantin Film will start the “Kaiserschmarrndrama” after all, at least after the cinemas reopen.

After all, Nicole Lutz has a treat for film fans: "We will open our concession sales every Friday and Saturday from 7pm to 8.30pm so that at least real cinema snacks can be enjoyed at home."   

Amateur sport

Heinz Rottmeier, chairman of SpVgg Erdweg with 1360 members in ten departments, saw the partial lockdown coming because of the increasing numbers and at some point might even have regulated access to the hall for handball or volleyball players.

"Health is the most important thing.

I fully represent the decisions on the partial lockdown, as they have now been made. ”However, the SpVgg boss is not entirely sure how Bayern will implement the lockdown, for example, with regard to the rest of the game in football.

He also sees a small question mark when it comes to individual sports.

In his opinion, this includes not only jogging, but also contactless sports such as badminton or gymnastics, where the distance can be given or maintained.

There are hygiene regulations in the hall anyway.

An obstacle for him is only when the health department closes the hall or the Erdweg community closes the hall.

It's just been going well again, now everything is gone again: Yoga teacher Stefanie Trapp with her students Luise, Sonya and Luisa (from left).

Yoga studio

The word "Ananda" is Sanskrit and means bliss, bliss and joy.

Stefanie Trapp, owner of the Pilates and yoga studio of the same name on Mittermayerstraße in Dachau, can hardly feel that anymore.

After the first lockdown, it was only allowed to reopen in June.

In terms of course attendance, things then went up slowly.

Just a week ago, the von Trapp groups were reasonably well booked again.

And now everything is gone again.

Accordingly, the 31-year-old yoga and Pilates teacher, gymnast and ballet dancer is “angry”.

She asks herself: "Why are you allowed to go to the hairdresser, but individual training is not allowed?" That can be done without touching anyone and at a distance, says Trapp.

Of course, something must be done against Corona.

Only: “More should be looked at the individual situations.” Her only straw in the next four weeks: her online courses, for which you can buy tickets.

Indoor swimming pools

The indoor swimming pool and sauna have to close again, for example the Karlsfelder, which was only open at the beginning of this week.

As the Stadtwerke Dachau report, there is the same risk of infection in swimming pools - for example in changing rooms, at the cash register or in the catering area - as in other facilities, "even if all available findings indicate that the coronavirus is caused by the chlorine and the temperatures in saunas be sure to be killed ”.
